Multiples are numbers greater than or equal to the number that the number will divide. So the multiples are:
5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
So now we can see that 40 is the least common multiple of 5 and 8.
Hope this helps.

Greatest Common Multiple isn't a term. It's impossible to determine, as it goes on forever. It's either Least Common Multiple, or Greatest Common Factor.
Least Common Multiple is 8.
Greatest Common Factor is 2.
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
There is really so such thing as a "greatest common multiple." Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.The first few common multiples of 8 and 52 are: 104, 208, 312, 416, and 520.
The least common multiple is 24. The greatest common factor is 4.
Both numbers must be multiples of 8, since their greatest common factor is 8. The numbers cannot be larger than 24, since it is their least common multiple. One of the numbers is 8. The only other multiples of 8 that are equal to or less than 24 are 16 and 24. 8 and 16 have greatest common factor of 8 but least common multiple of 16, so it cannot be this pair. 8 and 24 have greatest common factor of 8 and least common multiple of 24, so this is the solution.
